Passing by the world trade center
In a station
The stations look almost like those in Singapore!
Departing on the train again
Inside the trains
Rolling into the Al Murooj area
Towards Al Bada'a
The red metro line is the only main operational line
besides a smaller green line in the shurbs
and runs completely along the iconic Sheikh Zayed Road
Passing by Dusit
Another train in the station
And here is our destination!
So much for a metro experience!
The Khalifa in all it's towering glory
Where is the Dubai mall?
The mall grand entrance
And gold souk entrance
half the run down of the mall front
Time to check out the world's largest shopping mall!
The grand entrance lobby area
Niffy!
Towering ribbons is always nice
Here we are at the boutique shops
The place is crawling with designer labels
There are just oo many of them
Just to name afew
The stores are really nicely themed too
It's simply a splurger's paradise
They can all be found in one collective area
Called this!
They have this cool touch info panels for directories, but are rather laggy
The basement shops
The star atrium
Did I say STARS?
Few of the long walkways with goes on forever
Not too far off is the Waterfront Promenade
Which is essentially a large man-made lake
and home to the Palace old town
The address at dubai mall
Reflective views of the lake
Back in the AC environment of the mall
Seeing more stars!
Checking out the gold souk
Which is essentially an upper class gold souk
just like what we saw back at the outdoor markets previously
Many of the large themed cafe areas
All in air-conditioned comfort
Fountains play at the mall lake every half hour
Behold, the Dubai Fountain!
